BIAHC lends its name and provides volunteers, board members and/or staff in
both the planning and execution of the event, and/or provides financial
support or in-kind services. Financial support of a community activity
qualifies as co-sponsorship and requires that at least one BIAHC
representative participate in the planning and execution of the event.

BIAHC lends its name so as to give support to another organization's action
or activity. Such action or activity may include endorsement of conferences
or meetings. Endorsement does not commit BIAHC to contributing volunteers or
funding.

BIAHC can assume contract responsibilities for an organization that does not
have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, yet wishes to or is required to have this
designation to receive charitable funds. (Another name for this function is
“umbrella organization.”) Payment for services is issued to the fiscal
agent/umbrella organization. There is a $100 fee to set up a fiscal agency
arrangement and a 1% fee on all funds that pass through BIAHC for the
community organization.
